it is a very 'Yo La Tengo' song, Ira's typical hammer-ons, a D-chord progression similar to many earlier Yo La songs like 'I Heard You Looking'.. . maybe that's why they don't play this one as much...

The "we don't dare" refrain seems like an encouragement to ignore what the future holds and just enjoy the moment, but the second verse is pretty cryptic...
